The JR Newsletter is the official e-newsletter of the John Reich Collectors Society. The purpose of the John Reich Collectors Society (JRCS) is to encourage the study of numismatics, particularly United States gold and silver coins minted before the introduction of the Seated Liberty design, and to provide technical and educational information concerning such coins.

First
of all, I very much enjoyed Rick Andrews' contribution and photos to
last week’s issue of the JR Newsletter. Like many JRCS members, collectors, and
students of early silver, I love late die states and cuds!

I will again have Table 818
at next week’s Whitman Baltimore Convention, where I will be setting up
with Gerry Fortin. Together we will have 12 cases of better quality
Flowing Hair, Draped Bust, Capped Bust, Seated and other coins for
sale.

Included
in my cases are a number of better Draped and Capped Bust Dimes, over a
dozen new Capped Bust Half Dollars (including 13 CBHs in AU grades),
and over 50 early dollars. I will also have a fair number of half dimes
and early quarters. Gerry picked up an exceptional 1802/1 Silver
Dollar in PCGS AU55 CAC at last week’s Denver Coin Show, and should have
an awesome 1839 Liberty Seated Dime struck from a shattered die. Even
if you don’t collect Seated coins you will enjoy seeing and studying
this neat late die state example. Most of these coins can been seen on
our websites. Our website addresses are listed below.

Lastly,
a reminder that JRCS members and guests are invited to attend the JRCS
meeting and club program while at Baltimore. The meeting is scheduled
from 4:30 to 5:30pm in Room 301. Dr. Glenn Peterson will be giving a
talk on the early Quarters and the upcoming Quarter Census to be
published in the John Reich Journal. Hope to see you there, and if you
can please try to bring a coin or two to share with the members!

The membership is encouraged to send nominations for the Hall of Fame at any time. You can nominate candidates for either the veteran (those who contributed before the advent of JRCS) or the modern (those who have been members of JRCS) categories. Please include any pertinent information about the nominee that you feel necessary. Nominees will then be voted on by the HOF committee and the inductees will be announced at the annual meeting at the ANA convention in the summer. We look forward to seeing your nominations!
